Holy Crapoly

My list of things to do at work is LONG. 37 tasks and 7 calls to return. I don't normally make a to-do list, but today I was feeling overwhelmed. So I took the time to write it all down. I'll dwindle it down to a reasonable list by the end of the week I'm sure. But man am I busy!

I'm busy with things to do in my head too. Mostly money related. It seems that on top of needing to save for my coming vacation, about 12 other things that need to be paid for hit this month and next. It's almost all car related. I need an oil change, alignment, registration, inspection and a new headlight. Honey lovingly picked up a replacement headlight yesterday, but I'll need to install it before the weeks end so it will pass inspection.

My hair needs cutting, which is happening tonight, but that's another 20-ish bux gone. My virus/firewall protection software expires this month, so I'll need to renew that this week as well.

I have 3 nieces to buy presents for next month. My best friend's B-day is next month as well, and honey and I are planning a trip to Six Flags.

I also need a couple small cavities filled that I've neglected far too long. They don't hurt, so I forget about them. Not to mention an annual exam. I have good insurance, but there's still the co-pay. I paid 20 bux out last week for my foot appointment. (Which btw turned out fine. I'm just flat footed and need arch supports.)

I already had my recurring bills mapped out with a schedule of savings for our vacation, but I'm gonna have to do some serious juggling to work all of these things in. I have a feeling with all of this hitting (that I didn't plan for) I won't be able to save quite as much as I hoped.

Needless to say, I'm stressed, and I'll be stressed until we leave for out trip.

Oh! I forgot. I registered for a new class at school too. That's another 100 plus whatever the books will cost.

This is all easily 500 bux I bet! Stoopid money.

I did relieve a bit of stress yesterday by doing much needed laundry. I think I got about half of it tackled. I took the day off to rest, and because I had a killer headache that wouldn't go away. Came on Sunday when I woke up and didn't leave till this morning.

Anyway, I've rambled on long enough. Even with my 37 items "to-do" I think I'll float the next 20 minutes of work and happily bail out to go get my hair cut. :)
